For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a housing 1, an air guide plate assembly 2 and a swirl assembly 3.

[0041] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4The housing 1 defines an air outlet duct 11 and a first air outlet 12 communicating with the air outlet 11 , and at least one of the two sides in the width direction of the first air outlet 12 is provided with a second air outlet 13 communicating with the air outlet 11 .

[0042] It should be noted that the housing 1 is used to form the overall appearance of the air conditioner 100, and an air duct 11 is formed inside the housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with an air inlet, and the position of the air inlet is not limited, as long as the air inlet is connected to the air duct 11. For example, the air inlet can be provided at the top of the housing 1. A heat exchanger assembly 4 and a fan are also provided in the housing 1. The heat exchanger assembly 4 is used to perform heat exchange with the airflow flowing through its surface, and the fan is used to drive the airflow from the air inlet to the first air outlet 12 or the second air outlet 13.

[0043] In the specific operation process of the air conditioner 100, when the first air outlet 12 is closed, the outside air will enter the housing 1 from the air inlet, and after the heat exchange of the heat exchanger assembly 4, under the action of the fan, it will flow to the second air outlet 13 through the air duct 11 and blow out of the air conditioner 100, which can increase the richness of the air outlet mode of the air conditioner 100. When the first air outlet 12 is opened, the outside air will enter the housing 1 from the air inlet, and after the heat exchange of the heat exchanger assembly 4, it will flow to the first air outlet 12 through the air duct 11 and blow out of the air conditioner 100 under the action of the fan. At this time, a negative pressure can be formed at the connection between the second air outlet 13 and the air duct 11, and the outside air will enter the air duct 11 from the second air outlet 13, and be mixed with the airflow that has been heat exchanged by the heat exchanger assembly 4 and then blown out from the first air outlet 12, which can moderate the air outlet temperature of the first air outlet 12 when blowing cold air, improve the air outlet comfort, and increase the air volume of the first air outlet 12 at the same time.

[0044] It is understandable that the second air outlet 13 can be arranged on one of the two sides in the width direction of the first air outlet 12, and of course it can also be arranged on the second air outlet 13. Figure 1 In the example shown, the second air outlet 13 is provided on both sides of the first air outlet 12 in the width direction, which is not specifically limited here.

[0045] Among them, the air deflector assembly 2 is rotatably arranged at the first air outlet 12 to open or close the first air outlet 12. When the air deflector assembly 2 closes the first air outlet 12, the air flow cannot pass through the first air outlet 12. When the air deflector assembly 2 opens the first air outlet 12, the air flow blown out from the first air outlet 12 can be blown out under the guidance of the air deflector assembly 2. For example, when the user needs to blow air, the air deflector assembly 2 can open the first air outlet 12, and the air flow can be blown out from the first air outlet 12 smoothly through the air duct 11. The air deflector assembly 2 can also be kept rotating to guide the air flow to flow out along the board surface of the air deflector assembly 2, that is, to achieve the traditional up and down sweeping air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100, which can meet the air supply needs in all directions. In this way, different air supply needs of users can be met, and the practicality of the air conditioner 100 is improved. When the user does not want to blow air or does not need to use the air conditioner 100, the air deflector assembly 2 can close the first air outlet 12, and the air flow cannot pass through the first air outlet 12.

[0046] It should be noted that the first air outlet 12 can extend along the length direction of the shell 1 and be in a long strip shape. The long strip-shaped first air outlet 12 can increase the air supply volume and air supply range. At this time, the air guide plate assembly 2 extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 12 and is in a long strip shape, so that the air guide plate assembly 2 can be adapted to the first air outlet 12, so that the air guide plate assembly 2 can block the first air outlet 12 when the first air outlet 12 is closed.

[0047] At the same time, the rotation axis of the air deflector assembly 2 can extend along the length direction of the first air outlet 12, so that the air deflector assembly 2 can close the first air outlet 12 and can rotate smoothly to guide the air in the width direction of the first air outlet 12. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 is an on-hook unit, the first air outlet 12 extends in the left-right direction of the air conditioner 100, and the air guide plate assembly 2 guides air in the up-down direction. Specifically, a rotating shaft can be provided on the air guide plate assembly 2, and an axial hole adapted to the rotating shaft is provided at a corresponding position of the housing 1, so as to realize the rotation of the air guide plate assembly 2 around an axis extending in the length direction of the first air outlet 12.

[0048] The air deflector assembly 2 may be connected to a driving mechanism for driving the air deflector assembly 2 to rotate. For example, the driving mechanism may be a driving motor, and by providing a rotating shaft on the air deflector assembly 2 and connecting the driving shaft of the driving motor to the rotating shaft, the extension direction of the driving shaft axis of the driving motor is the same as the extension direction of the rotating shaft of the air deflector assembly 2, the driving motor can drive the rotating shaft to rotate and drive the air deflector assembly 2 to rotate.

[0049] Furthermore, a swirl assembly 3 is provided at the second air outlet 13, and the swirl assembly 3 is used to rotate the airflow passing through the swirl assembly 3. When the air conditioner 100 blows out air, the airflow flows to the second air outlet 13 through the air duct 11, and then passes through the swirl assembly 3 before being blown out. The swirl assembly 3 can change the flow direction of the airflow and generate rotation, thereby improving the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, and at the same time can reduce the airflow velocity and improve the flexibility of the airflow flow, so that the airflow will not blow directly to the user after being blown out from the second air outlet 13, thereby improving the comfort of the air outlet.

[0050] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner 100 can achieve a windless air outlet state. In the windless state, the air guide plate assembly 2 closes the first air outlet 12, and the air is blown out from the second air outlet 13. The blown air flow forms a vortex and the flow rate is reduced, making the air outlet softer. At this time, the windless air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100 can be achieved, and the richness of the air outlet of the air conditioner 100 is improved, thereby being able to meet the different needs of users and improving the user's comfort and experience.

[0051] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, in the normal default air outlet mode, the air guide plate assembly 2 opens the first air outlet 12, a negative pressure can be formed in the air duct 11, and the outside wind can enter the air duct 11 through the second air outlet 13. The natural wind from the outside is mixed with the air flow in the air duct 11. When the air conditioner 100 is in the cooling state, the wind blown out of the air duct 11 will not be too cold, thereby improving the comfort of the user. In addition, since the outside wind enters the air duct 11 from the second air outlet 13 and then blows out from the first air outlet 12, the air volume of the first air outlet 12 can be increased, and the air supply distance can be increased.

[0052] According to the air conditioner 100 of the utility model embodiment, an air outlet 11 and a first air outlet 12 connected to the air outlet 11 are defined by a shell 1, and a second air outlet 13 connected to the air outlet 11 is arranged on at least one of the two sides of the first air outlet 12 in the width direction. Furthermore, by providing a rotatable air guide plate assembly 2 at the first air outlet 12 and a swirl assembly 3 at the second air outlet 13, when the air guide plate assembly 2 closes the first air outlet 12, air can flow out from the second air outlet 13 through the swirl assembly 3, thereby realizing a windless mode of the air conditioner 100. In addition, in the normal air supply mode, opening the first air outlet 12 can also increase the air volume and air supply distance, thereby improving the richness of the air outlet of the air conditioner 100, meeting the different needs of users, and further improving the user's comfort and experience.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the housing 1 is further provided with an air duct 14, and the inner wall of the air duct 11 is provided with an air duct port 111 connected to the air duct 14, and one end of the air duct 14 away from the air duct port 111 is configured as a second air outlet 13. By providing the air duct port 111 and the air duct 14, the air duct 11 and the second air outlet 13 can be connected, and the structure is simple and easy to implement. Along the flow direction of the air flow in the air duct 11, the air duct port 111 and the first air outlet 12 are arranged at intervals, which is conducive to achieving different air outlet states of the air conditioner 100.

[0054] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, when the air conditioner 100 is in the default air outlet state, the air guide plate assembly 2 opens the first air outlet 12, and the natural wind from the outside can enter the air duct 14 from the second air outlet 13, and then enter the air duct 11 through the air duct 111 and mix with the air flow in the air duct 11, which can increase the air volume and air delivery distance of the first air outlet 12. Figure 1 As shown, when the air conditioner 100 is in a windless air outlet state, the air guide plate assembly 2 closes the first air outlet 12, and the airflow in the air duct 11 can enter the air duct 14 through the air duct 111, thereby guiding the airflow to at least one of the two sides in the width direction of the first air outlet 12 and blowing the airflow out from the second air outlet 13, thereby ensuring the windless air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air duct 14 and the air inlet 111 connected to the air duct 14 and the second air outlet 13 are located on the same side of the first air outlet 12 in the width direction, thereby forming a passage for air flow. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet 111 and the air inlet duct 14 corresponding to the second air outlet 13 located on the upper side of the first air outlet 12 in the width direction are also located on the upper side of the first air outlet 12 in the width direction, or when the second air outlet 13 is located on the bottom wall of the housing 1, the air inlet 111 and the air inlet duct 14 corresponding thereto are also located on the side of the first air outlet 12 close to the bottom wall. This can avoid the air inlet duct 14 from being too long, thereby reducing the air volume loss and reducing the noise generated by the conductive airflow.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the second air outlets 13 are provided on both sides of the width direction of the first air outlet 12, and the air duct 14 and the air duct 111 are two corresponding to the two second air outlets 13, that is, channels for air inlet and outlet can be formed on both sides of the width direction of the first air outlet 12. In the windless air outlet mode, the two second air outlets 13 on both sides of the first air outlet 12 can both discharge air, which can increase the air supply angle and air supply range of the windless air supply. In the normal default air outlet mode, the natural wind from the outside can enter the air duct 11 from the two second air outlets 13 on both sides of the first air outlet 12, which can increase the air outlet volume and air outlet efficiency of the first air outlet 12 and improve the air supply distance.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first air outlet 12 is arranged at the lower part of the front end of the shell 1 and extends along the left and right directions of the shell 1. The first air outlet 12 can be in the shape of a long strip extending along the left and right directions of the shell 1. The long strip-shaped first air outlet 12 can increase the air supply volume and air supply range.

[0058] In addition, there are two second air outlets 13, which are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the first air outlet 12, one of which is arranged on the front face of the shell 1, and the other is arranged on the bottom wall of the shell 1. In the normal default air outlet mode, the natural wind from the outside can enter the air duct 11 from the second air outlet 13 located on the front face and bottom wall of the shell 1, which will not interfere with the air outlet, and can also increase the air outlet volume and air outlet efficiency of the first air outlet 12, and improve the air supply distance. In the windless air outlet mode, the airflow is blown out from the second air outlet 13 located on the front face and bottom wall of the shell 1, which can increase the air supply angle and air supply range of the windless air supply. At the same time, the air outlet position is more conducive to avoiding the airflow from blowing directly to the user, enhancing the windless effect and improving the user's comfort.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the swirl component 3 includes a swirl layer 31 and a grille layer 32. The swirl layer 31 is used to rotate the airflow passing through the swirl layer 31. The airflow passing through the swirl component 3 will change its flow direction and form a swirl under the action of the swirl layer 31, so that the air inlet direction of the airflow entering the swirl layer 31 is inconsistent with the air outlet direction leaving the swirl layer 31, and the airflow is converted from straight wind to swirl wind, thereby improving the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process. At the same time, it can reduce the airflow velocity and improve the smoothness of the airflow flow, so that the airflow will not be directly blown to the user after passing through the swirl component 3, which can improve the comfort of the air outlet 13.

[0060] Among them, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the grille layer 32 and the swirl layer 31 are stacked and connected along the flow direction of the airflow, and the grille layer 32 is located downstream of the swirl layer 31. The grille layer 32 and the swirl layer 31 can be detachably connected, for example, the grille layer 32 and the swirl layer 31 can be connected by means of snap connection or screw connection, which is simple to assemble and convenient for disassembly and maintenance. The grille layer 32 is used to break up the airflow passing through the grille layer 32. When the air conditioner 100 is in a windless air outlet state, the airflow flowing into the second air outlet 13 first passes through the swirl layer 31 to convert the straight wind into swirl wind, and then the swirl wind is further broken up by the grille layer 32 to form an airflow dispersion flow, further improving the turbulent state of the airflow flow process, making the airflow blown out from the second air outlet 13 flow more gently, which can improve the comfort of the air outlet, and thus help to achieve a breeze or no wind effect, and enhance the user experience. At the same time, the grille layer 32 can block the swirl layer 31 located on the inner side, and improve the aesthetics of the appearance of the air conditioner 100.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the grille layer 32 includes a grille plate 321, and a plurality of spaced ventilation holes 322 are provided on the grille plate 321. The ventilation holes 322 can break up and refine the airflow passing through the grille plate 321, so that the airflow is converted into a finer air flow, and the airflow passing through the grille plate 321 can also be more uniform, delicate and soft, which is conducive to the airflow flowing out of the grille layer 32 to achieve a breeze or no wind effect, so as to improve the user experience.

[0062] It should be noted that the cross-sectional shape of the ventilation hole 322 can be circular, triangular, square or honeycomb, etc. The specific shape is not limited here. Figure 8 In the example shown, the ventilation hole 322 is a circular hole with a circular cross section, which has a simple structure and is easy to process. Furthermore, multiple ventilation holes 322 can be arranged in an array on the grille plate 321, so that as many ventilation holes 322 as possible can be arranged on the grille plate 321 under the premise of ensuring a certain structural strength of the grille plate 321, and sufficient ventilation can be ensured while not affecting the grille plate 321 to disperse the airflow, thereby ensuring the air volume of the second air outlet 13.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Fig. 9As shown, the swirl layer 31 includes a swirl plate 311 and a swirler 312. The swirl plate 311 is provided with a plurality of spaced mounting holes 3111. Each mounting hole 3111 is provided with a swirler 312. The swirler 312 is used to rotate the airflow passing through the swirler 312. The swirler 312 is located in the mounting hole 3111 and is connected and fixed to the swirl plate 311. The swirler 312 can be integrally formed with the swirl plate 311, or can be fixed to the swirl plate 311 by welding, bonding, crimping, etc. It can be understood that the swirler 312 can change the flow direction of the airflow and generate rotation, so that the airflow in the air inlet direction entering the swirler 312 is inconsistent with the air outlet direction leaving the swirler 312, and the airflow is converted from straight wind to swirl wind, thereby improving the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, and at the same time, it can reduce the airflow velocity, improve the flexibility of the airflow flow, and improve the comfort of the airflow from the second air outlet 13.

[0064] Preferably, the mounting hole 3111 is circular, and the shape and size of the swirler 312 match the mounting hole 3111 , which is conducive to the rotation of the airflow passing through the swirler 312 .

[0065] In this embodiment, the mounting holes 3111 are arranged in a plurality at intervals along the length direction of the swirl plate 311, the swirl devices 312 are arranged in a plurality corresponding to the mounting holes 3111, and the positions of the swirl devices 312 correspond to the mounting holes 3111. Figure 7 In the example shown, there are corresponding 9 mounting holes 3111 and cyclones 312 spaced apart along the length direction of the cyclone plate 311, thereby increasing the airflow of the cyclone layer 31 while ensuring a certain structural strength of the cyclone plate 311, thereby improving the air outlet efficiency of the air conditioner 100.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the swirler 312 includes a first swirl blade 3121, which is a plurality of first swirl blades 3121 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 3111, each first swirl blade 3121 extends along the radial direction of the mounting hole 3111 and the radial outer end is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 3111, and along the airflow direction, the first swirl blade 3121 is inclined toward one of the circumferential directions of the mounting hole 3111. The first swirl blade 3121 can be integrally formed with the swirl plate 311, or fixed to the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 3111 by welding, bonding, crimping, etc.

[0067] It is understandable that the inclined first swirl blade 3121 can change the direction of the airflow, and can guide the airflow flowing into the swirler 312 to flow out along the inclined direction of the first swirl blade. At the same time, multiple first swirl blades 3121 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 3111. On the one hand, the airflow passing through the swirler 312 can be cut, broken up and diverted by the first swirl blades 3121, which can effectively reduce wind resistance and make the wind output softer. On the other hand, multiple inclined first swirl blades 3121 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 3111 can change the direction of the airflow flowing into the swirler 312 and generate rotation, converting the airflow from straight wind to swirl wind, improving the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, reducing the airflow velocity, and improving the flexibility of the airflow flow, which is conducive to the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 31 to achieve a breeze or no wind effect.

[0068] Among them, it should be noted that the cyclone 312 can realize the rotation of the airflow through a plurality of inclined first cyclone blades, without the need to set up an axial flow fan wheel, a fan wheel driving device for driving the axial flow fan wheel to rotate, or a gear rack mechanism for transmitting power and torque, which greatly simplifies the structure of the device for realizing the rotation of the airflow, thereby reducing the cost of the air conditioner 100 to achieve a breeze or no wind effect.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the swirler 312 also includes a fixing ring 3122, a mounting portion 3123 and a second swirl blade 3124. The fixing ring 3122 is arranged in the mounting hole 3111, the radial inner end of the first swirl blade 3121 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the fixing ring 3122, the mounting portion 3123 is arranged in the fixing ring 3122 and is spaced apart from the fixing ring 3122, and the second swirl blade 3124 is a plurality of second swirl blades 3124 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 3111, each second swirl blade 3124 extends along the radial direction of the mounting hole 3111 and has a radial outer end connected to the inner peripheral wall of the fixing ring 3122, and a radial inner end connected to the outer peripheral wall of the mounting portion 3123, and along the airflow direction, the second swirl blade 3124 is inclined toward one of the circumferential directions of the mounting hole 3111.

[0070] The first swirl blade 3121, the fixing ring 3122, the second swirl blade 3124 and the mounting portion 3123 can be integrally formed or fixedly connected together by welding, bonding, crimping, etc. The fixing ring 3122 is provided to facilitate connecting the first swirl blade 3121 and the second swirl blade 3124, and also to divide and divert the airflow, making the airflow softer.

[0071] It should be noted that if Fig. 9In the example shown, the mounting portion 3123 may be cylindrical, the mounting hole 3111 and the fixing ring 3122 may be arranged in a circular shape, and preferably, the center line of the mounting portion 3123, the center line of the fixing ring 3122 and the center line of the mounting hole 3111 coincide with each other, so as to facilitate the central symmetry arrangement of the plurality of first swirl blades 3121 and the second swirl blades 3124 in the mounting hole 3111, which is beneficial for the airflow passing through the swirler 312 to rotate around the center of the mounting hole 3111.

[0072] It is understandable that the inclined second swirl blades 3124 can change the direction of the airflow, and can guide the airflow flowing into the swirler 312 to flow out along the inclined direction of the second swirl blade. At the same time, multiple second swirl blades 3124 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 3111. On the one hand, the airflow passing through the swirler 312 can be cut, broken up and diverted by the second swirl blades 3124, which can effectively reduce wind resistance and make the wind output softer. On the other hand, multiple inclined second swirl blades 3124 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 3111 can change the direction of the airflow flowing into the swirler 312 and generate rotation, converting the airflow from straight wind to swirl wind, further improving the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, making the airflow flow more flexible, and thus facilitating the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 31 to achieve a breeze or no wind effect.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first swirl blade 3121 and the second swirl blade 3124 have the same or opposite inclination directions, and the first swirl blade 3121 and the second swirl blade 3124 can respectively guide the airflow flowing into the swirler 312 to flow out along the inclination directions of the first swirl blade 3121 and the second swirl blade 3124. The same inclination direction of the first swirl blade 3121 and the second swirl blade 3124 is conducive to the airflow passing through the swirler 312 to rotate in the same direction. When the inclination directions of the first swirl blade 3121 and the second swirl blade 3124 are opposite, the airflow flowing into the swirler 312 can be guided to flow out in opposite directions, which can further enhance the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, reduce the impact of the airflow, and further facilitate the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 31 to achieve a breeze or no wind effect.

[0074] In this application, if Figure 7 and Fig. 9As shown, the inclination angles of the first swirl blade 3121 and the second swirl blade 3124 are the same or different. The inclination angles of the first swirl blade 3121 and the second swirl blade 3124 can be the same, which is convenient for processing and production. Of course, the inclination angles of the first swirl blade 3121 and the second swirl blade 3124 can also be different, which can respectively guide the airflow flowing into the swirler 312 to flow out along different inclination angles, which can further enhance the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, reduce the impact of the airflow, and thus help to ensure the windless effect.

[0075] In this application, if Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first swirl blades 3121 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 312 are inclined in the same or opposite directions. The first swirl blades 3121 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 312 are inclined in the same direction, which is conducive to the airflows passing through different swirlers 312 to rotate in the same direction, and is easy to process. The first swirl blades 3121 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 312 are inclined in opposite directions, so that the airflows entering different swirlers 312 can be guided by the first swirl blades 3121 to flow out in different directions and rotate in opposite directions, which can enhance the turbulent state of the airflow passing through the swirl layer 31, reduce the impact of the airflow, and further enhance the windless effect of the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 31.

[0076] In this application, if Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the second swirl blades 3124 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 312 are inclined in the same or opposite directions. The second swirl blades 3124 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 312 are inclined in the same direction, which is conducive to the airflows passing through different swirlers 312 to rotate in the same direction, and is easy to process. The second swirl blades 3124 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 312 are inclined in opposite directions, so that the airflows entering different swirlers 312 can be guided by the second swirl blades 3124 to flow out in different directions and rotate in opposite directions, which can enhance the turbulent state of the airflow passing through the swirl layer 31, reduce the impact of the airflow, and further enhance the windless effect of the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 31.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Fig. 9As shown, along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 3111, each second swirl blade 3124 is located between two adjacent first swirl blades 3121. The second swirl blades 3124 can be arranged alternately with the first swirl blades 3121 in the mounting hole 3111, which can enhance the effect of breaking up and diverting the airflow, improve the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, make the airflow softer, and help to improve the breeze feeling and windless feeling effect.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the cyclone 312 and the cyclone plate 311 are integrated, which is beneficial to enhancing the structural stability of the cyclone layer 31, while reducing the number of assembly parts of the cyclone layer 31, simplifying the assembly process of the cyclone component 3, and thus improving assembly efficiency.

[0079] In this application, if Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, a plurality of mounting holes 3111 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the swirl plate 311. The swirl plate 311 is preferably in the shape of a long strip, and the mounting holes 3111 are arranged along the length direction of the swirl plate 311. The structure layout is reasonable, and the number of mounting holes 3111 can be increased while maintaining a certain structural strength of the swirl plate 311, thereby increasing the air flow of the swirl layer 31, and thus improving the air outlet efficiency of the air conditioner 100. At the same time, the air flow can be uniformly passed along the length direction of the swirl plate 311, ensuring the air outlet range of the second air outlet 13 in the length direction.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air guide plate assembly 2 includes a first air guide plate 21 and a second air guide plate 22. The first air guide plate 21 is rotatably disposed at the first air outlet 12 to open or close the first air outlet 12, and the second air guide plate 22 is rotatably disposed at the first air outlet 12. When the first air guide plate 21 closes the first air outlet 12, the second air guide plate 22 is located on the inner side of the first air guide plate 21.

[0081] When the first air guide plate 21 closes the first air outlet 12, the airflow cannot pass through the first air outlet 12. When the air guide plate assembly 2 opens the first air outlet 12, the airflow can be guided to be blown out from the first air outlet 12. For example, when the user needs to blow air, the first air guide plate 21 can open the first air outlet 12, and the airflow can be smoothly blown out from the first air outlet 12 through the air duct 11, which can meet the user's air supply needs, ensure the basic functions of the air conditioner 100 and improve the practicality of the air conditioner 100. When the user does not want to blow air or does not need to use the air conditioner 100, the first air guide plate 21 can close the first air outlet 12, and the airflow cannot pass through the first air outlet 12. At this time, the first air guide plate 21 and the housing 1 also constitute the complete appearance of the air conditioner 100, thereby improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner 100.

[0082] It can be understood that the second air guide plate 22 is rotatably provided at the first air outlet 12, and the air guide direction can be changed by rotation, so that the airflow in the air duct 11 can be guided in different directions at the first air outlet 12, thereby realizing the function and effect of air outlet at different angles of the air conditioner 100 and meeting the different air supply needs of users.

[0083] It should be noted that the first air guide plate 21 and the second air guide plate 22 may be connected to a first driving mechanism and a second driving mechanism respectively, so as to drive the first air guide plate 21 and the second air guide plate 22 to rotate.

[0084] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the example shown, the first driving mechanism can specifically be a first driving motor. A first rotating shaft 211 extending along the length direction of the first air outlet 12 is provided at one end of the first air guide plate 21 in the width direction close to the bottom wall. The driving shaft of the first driving motor is connected to the first rotating shaft 211, so that the first driving motor can drive the first air guide plate 21 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 211.

[0085] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the example shown, the second driving mechanism can specifically be a second driving motor. A second rotating shaft 221 extending along the length direction of the second air outlet 13 can be provided on one side in the thickness direction of the second air guide plate 22. The driving shaft of the second driving motor is connected to the second rotating shaft 221, so that the second driving motor can drive the second air guide plate 22 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 221.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the air conditioner 100 has a windless air outlet state. In the windless air outlet state, the first air guide plate 21 closes the first air outlet 12, and the second air guide plate 22 is substantially parallel to the extension direction of the air duct 11; at this time, the airflow in the air duct 11 cannot pass through the first air outlet 12, and can only be blown out from the second air outlet 13 after passing through the swirl component 3, and the second air outlet 13 is arranged on the front end surface and bottom wall of the shell 1. The air outlet angle causes the airflow not to blow directly to the user. The swirl wind blown out by the air conditioner 100 has a slow flow rate and a soft airflow, which can achieve a windless effect and improve the user's comfort and experience.

[0087] In this application, if Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner 100 has a shutdown state, in which the first air guide plate 21 closes the first air outlet 12, the second air guide plate 22 is substantially parallel to the extension direction of the air duct 11, the fan in the housing 1 is in a shutdown state, and no air flows from the air inlet of the housing 1 to the first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13. At this time, the first air guide plate 21 and the housing 1 constitute a complete appearance of the air conditioner 100, thereby improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner 100, and the first air guide plate 21 can also play a role in dust prevention.

[0088] In this application, if Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner 100 has a heating air outlet state. In the heating air outlet state, the first air guide plate 21 and the second air guide plate 22 are respectively located outside the first air outlet 12 and are respectively located at the upper and lower sides of the first air outlet 12, and the first air guide plate 21 is located at the lower side of the second air guide plate 22; the first air guide plate 21 is located at the lower side of the first air outlet 12 in the width direction and the first air guide plate 21 extends downwardly, so that the lower side of the first air outlet 12 in the width direction is completely open. The second air guide plate 22 is located at the upper side of the first air outlet 12 in the width direction, and in the direction of the air duct 11 extending toward the outside of the housing 1, the second air guide plate 22 is inclined downward, thereby guiding the hot air flow flowing out of the first air outlet 12 downward, so that the hot air flow is blown downward, which is conducive to the expansion and rise of hot air and the fall of cold air, accelerating the air circulation in the room, allowing the indoor temperature to rise faster, and improving the heating effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0089] In this application, if Figure 3As shown, the air conditioner 100 has a direct blowing prevention state. In the direct blowing prevention state, the upper end of the first air guide plate 21 is open, and the second air guide plate 22 is located inside the first air guide plate 21 and extends upwardly at an angle. In the direction from back to front of the housing 1, the first air guide plate 21 extends upwardly at an angle, so that only the upper end of the first air outlet 12 in the width direction is opened, and the second air guide plate 22 is substantially parallel to the first air guide plate 21. At this time, the airflow flowing to the first air outlet 12 will be guided by the second air guide plate 22 and the first air guide plate 21 to flow out from the upper end of the first air outlet 12, which can prevent the airflow from the first air outlet 12 from blowing directly to the user, and can improve the comfort of the air outlet.

[0090] In this application, if Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 has a default air outlet state, in which the first air guide plate 21 opens the first air outlet 12 and extends obliquely toward the front of the housing 1, and the second air guide plate 22 is located in the air duct 11 and is substantially parallel to the extension direction of the air duct 11. At this time, the first air guide plate 21 and the second air guide plate 22 will not interfere too much with the airflow flowing from the air duct 11 to the first air outlet 12, and the airflow can flow out smoothly from the first air outlet 12, thereby ensuring the air volume of the air conditioner 100.
